+-- Removes all comments, blank lines and extra whitespace from a C header file
+-- and inserts a generated from comment at the top. Generally, this extracts the
+-- smallest subset of the file that describes the interface that is necessary to
+-- interoperate with that software. The user of this program should check the
+-- results, however, to ensure the result minimally describes the public
+-- interface.
+--
+-- When applied to device-tree binding files, this will result in the #defines
+-- being extracted, which are needed to generate the .dtb files, as well as for
+-- code to interpret the .dtb files. The device-tree files must be written this
+-- way to be used for this dual purpose. Other header files may not be so
+-- constrained, which makes review necessary for those context.
